Helen Ivory

Your Bot picked out similar biographical information for Helen Ivory, from the Poet Casting site. I gave Poet Casting the information, and I am Helen Ivory. (I know it is not seemly to add yourself to wikipedia, but I was adding information about myself to the Eric Gregory Award winners page, which had been created by somebody else.) The World Doesn't End (talk) 16:57, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

See the talk page for this one. I seem to remember a similar problem a few months ago with another article I created. Don't know if there is any way the bot can avoid false positives on this kind of list without failing to spot other problems. Aymatth2 (talk) 19:37, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

To be more specific, I tried to break up and rephrase sentences and use different connecting words, but essentially the education and career content is a list:

Sanusi - 24 September, 1938 - Ogbagi-Akoko, Ondo State, Nigeria - South-West London College - Kingston College of Technology - England - 1962 - 1965 - Chartered Accountant - England - Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) - 1969 - fellow of the Nigerian Institute of Bankers - 1987 - Accountant - England - Board of Customs and Excise - Nigeria - Central Bank of Nigeria - 1966 - Deputy Manager - Departmental Director - 1977 - Chief Executive - Securities and Exchange Commission - 1978 - Executive Director, Monetary and Banking Policy - 1979 - 1984 - Deputy Governor - 1988 - 1990 - Managing Director and Chief Executive - United Bank for Africa - 1990 - 1992 - First Bank of Nigeria - 1992 - 1998.

I don't know if you should have said that in the deletion nomination

I am concerned about your thoughts about that one article. "Wait, what?" is not a constructive rebuttal, although the Delete reason you posted below that is probably acceptable. In addition, if a bot to keep an eye on copyright was your idea, it might be a little better to go into more detail or leave the general public including admins who don't keep an eye on copyright to decide.

Nothing against you, though. I do approve of CorenSearchBot. mechamind90 04:41, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

There was very little else that could be said to that statement; it was more an expression of dismay and confusion than a rebuttal— mostly borne of not being sure if it was meant as sarcasm or if that editor was really that confused.
I'm not sure what the 'bot has to do with anything though; that list has many problems, but copyright isn't among them. — Coren (talk) 11:18, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Cancer Council Australia Site

I received a message after I created the page 'Cancer Council Australia'. I work for this organisation and was ask to edit and move the page that was previosuly found under The Cancer Council Australia. The reason is that Cancer Council Australia does not use an article before its name. However, as I could not move the page (no 'move'-tab in the menu), I created a page with the correct name and included a redirect to this page from 'The Cancer Council Australia'. I also performed some necessary edits. What shoudl I do now? Juttavd (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 05:28, 3 March 2010 (UTC).

It's cut & paste move day... Repaired, please note that if for whatever reason a move is not directly possible, contributors are advised to ask for assistance at Wikipedia:Requested moves.

False positive - Rural Address Property IDentification

Just leaving a note to advise that I have reverted the copyvio warning and rewrite of Rural Address Property IDentification because it was a false positive. The source found had itself taken the text from the then existing Wikipedia article RAPID, which another editor has tried to change to that of a programming language and create a new article for the existing text. Daveosaurus (talk) 08:29, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Note: this was a particularly annoying cut & paste move. Note for the casual reader, copying & pasting content under a new title should be avoided at all cost, as it separates an article's text from its contributor history, which CorenSearchBot correctly identifies as a copyright violation. Please use the move function instead. MLauba (talk) 09:01, 3 March 2010 (UTC)

Under "ChildofMidnight's dealings with criticism", we have "...have usually be rewarded with attacks", which I assume should be "been". Also, the "Past remedies" section uses the word "sanctionned", which my spellchecker and dictionary don't seem to recognize (though I suppose it could be a US/Commonwealth thing, in which case just ignore me on that one).

Encouragement

[1]: "I would encourage some uninvolved admins to - well - get involved."

As nice as the sentiment expressed is, I think the situation will only improve if you actually - well - encourage some uninvolved admins to get involved.

It seems that no admins passed by that page whilst desperately looking for something to occupy themselves with, and now the case and the passive encouragement has been archived.

Problems at the article were acknowledged, and they are still problems. Even though the case was rejected, it seems a shame to pass up the chance to improve the article for the sake of a little active encouragement.

biographicon.com

This site seems to be taking content from Wikipedia, and CorenSearchBot recently accused a user of taking from them. See this diff. I only clicked a few articles, but most of them seem to be near identical to Wikipedia's even when the Wikipedia articles have been around for many years, so Im going to have to assume without any further info that ours are original and theirs are copies.

Interest group (disambiguation)

This was part of 'moving' the Interest group content to Advocacy group as discussed on talk:Interest group 'requested move' section. A straight move was unfortunately not going to work because Advocacy group was not a simple clean redirect. Possibly you could check that my cut/paste was ok and that my copyright reference back to Interest group is suitable. I then turned Interest group into a disambiguation page until I realised that there would then be no redirect for articles that linked to it so I then moved the disambiguation text to the new Interest group (disambiguation) article. I have now created a note on the talk page of that article about the source of the text. Let me know if I have done it completely wrong or if there is anything else that I need to do.

Can't we all just be friends?

Hi Coren. I just saw your elegant message on Trusilver's talkpage. He, in turn, answered with a nice and I think responsible manner. In his reply he took responsibility for his part in this tragedy of errors. Since this case is so nuanced and through recent discussions there appears to be some common ground on which to move, would it be too much to ask that we do what Durova recently suggested, shake hands, give compromise a chance and go home as happy as possible under the circumstances? I wouldn't have asked if I thought that you couldn't rise to the occasion but I sincerely think that you just might be able to assist in interpolating a better solution for this case. I would understand if you fail; my only request is to please try. Take care. Dr.K. λogosπraxis 04:53, 11 March 2010 (UTC)

Mentorship

Precepts on the secret of success in life drafted by Tokugawa Ieyasu. Calligraphic original in the collection of Nikkō Tōshō-gū.

Coren --

As you already know, during the Edo period of Japanese history, the hortatory precepts of the founder of the Tokugawa shogunate were widely known. After the Meiji Restoration in 1868, the aphorisms of Tokugawa Ieyasu faded from public prominence.

In our unique "mentoring" relationship, perhaps it may be construed as helpful to recall these words:

"One who treats difficulties as the nomal state of affairs will never be discontented."

I hope this becomes a helpful reference as we continue to work together and face whatever lies ahead.

Sincerely,

Tenmei (talk) 05:23, 15 March 2010 (UTC)


Life is like walking along a long road shouldering a heavy load; there is no need to hurry.
One who treats difficulties as the normal state of affairs will never be discontented.
Patience is the source of eternal peace; treat anger as an enemy.
Harm will befall one who knows only success and has never experienced failure.
Blame yourself rather than others.
It is better not to reach than to go too far.
— Tokugawa Ieyasu, 1604

Well, not quite (though my position, I suspect, is close to classical finitism as described in that article— I really need to hunt that literature down). I suppose my point is similar, that R as defined is nonsensical and that its properties are meaningless because they beg the question of the existence of continua in the first place; but I don't approach it from a strict constructivist approach but from one derived from the consequences of avoiding to extend beyond definable numbers (and I've yet to hear a single supported argument that it's meaningful to do so).
Interesting consequences: the axiom of choice becomes useless to ZFC and no longer needs to be tacked on, and the singularities that kink Maxwell's equations when you try to apply QFT just evaporate. — Coren (talk) 22:54, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
I agree. you can imagine the following thought experiment. In principle the whole world including all people could be simulated by a

huge computer. In this virtual world, virtual mathematicians would likely still invent the continuum. But by construction, the continuum does not exist in their world. Count Iblis (talk) 01:43, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Newroz

Dear Coren,

Your bot on Newroz deactivated my changes on the Kurdish newroz and Persian nowrouz pages. Kindly Turn the bot off. Unfortunately the Persians are monopolizing newroz and are trying to tell the world that other nations (including Kurds) have borrowed it from them, which is absolutely basless. This viewpoint has affected both UN resolution and the wiki articles. Persian Norouz is 3000 years old while in Kurdistan it is as old as at least 7000 years. Currently a team of Kurdish scholars are preparing a pack of info to be offered to the UN as proof of the truth about who first set the fire of newroz and also in protest to ignoring Kurdish nation in the UN resolution. Currently newroz is celebrated in Turkey and Iraq just by the Kurdish minority, while Kurdish nation has been ignored in the resolution.

Newroz traditions and ceremonies are absolutely different in Kurdistan. Please let the Newroz article be independently edited and also related words such as "nuroj", newroz, nevrouz which are particulary Kurdish pronounciation of newroz be redirected to Newroz(Kurdistan) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cyrus abdi (talk • contribs) 07:34, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

I am trying hard to get used to working with Wikipedia, but it's still quite cumbersome for me. One reply even accused me of "vandalism" which falling short of being a downright insult, would perhaps have been better stated in a more helpful and instructional manner.

Bonjour Coren

Bonjour Coren, et merci pour ton commentaire [2]. Puisque visiblement nous parlons la meme langue, permets-moi d'en profiter pour avoir un petit echange (je m'excuse seulement du manque d'accents dans mon texte, car j'utilise un clavier anglophone). Puis-je donc te demander en quoi tu penses que mes contributions au sujet des relations entre les Mongols et les Croises constitueraient une "novel theory"? Le sujet est bien connu et tres documente dans la litterature historique, meme s'il est peu connu du public general et genere souvent un sentiment d'incredulite, voire de rejet. Un autre exemple de ce type de relations "contre nature" entre la France et une puissance orientale serait l'alliance Franco-Ottomane (Franco-Ottoman alliance) qui dura pres de 300 ans entre la France et l'Empire Ottoman. Ce sont de nos jours des relations qui sont peu connues ou commentees, et pratiquement pas enseignees a l'ecole, mais qui representent neanmoins une part considerable de l'histoire des relations exterieures francaises. Le terme "Alliance Franco-Mongole" peut etre percu comme un peu sur-prometteur dans la mesure ou la collaboration des Francs et des Mongols contre les Mamluks trouva assez peu de concretisation (quelques actions communes, quelques mouvement strategiques concertes tout au plus) et se termina par une victoire ecrasante des Mamluks, mais il n'en reste pas moins que ces quelques actions furent sous-tendues par des accords verbaux et ecrits d'amplitude majeure entre les deux puissances, ce qui est bel et bien la raison pour laquelle on parle d'alliance. Ceci n'est nullement une nouvelle theorie, mais assez exactement ce qui est decrit par les historiens en general. En Francais, c'est exactement ce que tu trouves chez Grousset ou Alain Demurger, mais aussi chez beaucoup d'auteurs anglophones.
Elonka critique cette fois-ci mes dernieres contributions en faisant les memes accusations que precedemment, mais je pense qu'objectivement mes contributions ont ete exemplaires, factuelles et bien documentees. Il suffit que tu regardes precisement les contributions que j'ai faites pendant ces deux semaines pour t'en rendre compte [3].
Je sais que mes contributions sont de qualite, et je souhaite que justice soit faite: il n'y aucune raison qu'une partie du savoir historique disparaise ainsi (et que ceux qui s'en font l'echo soient persecutes) parce que quelques personnes sont incredules ou refractaires a l'idee d'une cooperation entre des Chretiens et des Mongols, Boudhistes ou Musulmans.
J'espere que ces quelques explications ont pu t'apporter des eclaircissements. Mon souhait est que quelqu'un enfin regarde en detail cette affaire d'un oeil objectif, et comprenne que les accusations qui sont portees sont inexactes et injustifiees. Bien cordialement, Per Honor et Gloria  19:57, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Template:Csb-pageincludes

I changed Template:Csb-pageincludes because errors should be reported here (User talk:Coren), not on the article's discussion page. Actually, you say that on the automated message you put on user pages. Xqsd (talk) 19:38, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

I have changed it back. The articles are not reviewed by Coren, but by the team of volunteers who work at WP:SCV. If these notes are made on Coren's talk page, they will be unseen by those volunteers. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 10:52, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
Perhaps there is some clearer way of putting it, because it's obvious that's confusing to some editors: it is appropriate to report errors in CorenSearchBot's behavior here (such as matching obviously incorrect pages, or putting broken tags and such). When there is an obvious similarity but one disagrees that it is a copyright violation because of asserted permission or licensing, then my talk page is not the right place to report it because it will almost certainly go unexamined for lack of time. Thankfully, there are a number of editors that work the copyright arena that are watching this page so that they rarely go entirely unnoticed — but it's not conductive to speedy handling. — Coren (talk) 13:07, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
The automated message on the user's page says one thing. The template says another. Xqsd (talk) 13:27, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
The automated message on user pages specifically requests a note here if the bot "found similarity where none actually exists". But this is not the proper place to report other issues — for example, if the content on the website is public domain, perhaps because a webpage is incorporating text from a US Federal Government website or an older publication. In such cases, similarity exists. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 13:32, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Simply put: no. That's an AI-hard problem.  :-) But besides the fact that it's not possible, it's also probably not desirable: when a search dredges up a Wikipedia mirror (and not Wikipedia itself first) then it's more likely than not a cut and paste of another, older article. That's not always a problem, but usually is and is worth flagging for human inspection. — Coren (talk) 10:41, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

i think i have significantly reworded the text from the website. however, i do not feel there is much more i can change, since the text is very brief anyway.Oatleyan10 (talk) 22:25, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Dear Coren, the website = http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/v/o/n/Gottfried-H-Von-sponneck is in the public domain and is my own contribution to Family Tree Maker Program wherewith they grant me a free website for family info and photos. I am therefore of the opinion that no 'copyright' is being infringed and would like to keep it as such and will change and improve it with time. Many thanks, Signed: Gottfried von Sponneck - sponneck@mega.co.za —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sponneck (talk • contribs) 14:46, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Heros Species/ Severums

Hi there seems to be a big confusion between your articles with Heros Severus.

I have made a attempt to amend them but didn't seem to do it properly.

The common Severum in the aquarium trade is a mongrel version of 'Heros Efaciatus' by mongrel i mean the fish is a result of regional interbreeding between different variety's of 'Efaciatus' such as Sp. Belem with Sp. Rotkeil etc...

Heros Severus is a very different fish that is virtually non existent in the aquarium trade, it is a at max 8" fish which is more streamlined, cream bodied with very small red spots, it is a mouth brooder and less muscular in build.

The photograph you are using is of a different fish again... 'Heros Notatus' or 'Spotted Severum' again a more rare version of Severum.

It is a very ignored mistake in general, and is also very well known by aquarium enthusiasts, and with people questioning wikipedia's information, i believe that edits like these are critical.

any questions please ask. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Glenbo1981 (talk • contribs) 23:12, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

I got your message. Apparently, there's not much websites that details about Stryker's Island. I can remove the history text and leave a stub for someone to write out the full history if you want as no one had written an article about Stryker's Island before. I'm still trying to gather info on it's known inmates. Plus some of it's info was from the List of correctional facilities in comics page on this website. Rtkat3 (talk) 07:02, 29 March 2010 (UTC)
